“Young Master, this is too popular…” Gu Mingyue couldn’t quite believe her own eyes, as the previous Yang Chen would never had received such an outstanding treatment.
Lost in her thoughts, Gu Mingyue suddenly froze, seeing Yang Chen finishing his martial arts practice, she hurriedly took small steps to hand him the prepared water. Then, she picked up a handkerchief and helped Yang Chen wipe off his sweat, unintentionally causing a group of foreign girls to gnash their teeth, each wondering who this Gu Mingyue was.
Yang Chen glanced around, feeling that ‘mostly,’ today’s practice field was a place of controversy for him. So, he quickly stopped practicing the Mixed Yuan Spear Technique and planned to leave with Gu Mingyue together.
Just as he was about to leave, suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd.
“Make way! ”
“Step aside!”
Yang Chen curiously turned his face, only to see a middle-aged man squeezing out of the crowd in a flurry. As soon as he came out, his eyes fell on Yang Chen, looking at him as though he had grasped a final lifeline.
“Yang Chen, you’re really here at the practice field, that’s great,” the middle-aged man said excitedly.
Yang Chen’s brow furrowed as he looked at the middle-aged man and said coldly: “Uncle Yang Yuan.”
This middle-aged man was named Yang Yuan, a generation older than him.
That’s not the most important thing though; this Yang Yuan was the father of Yang Heng and Yang Wu.
In addition to Yang Yuan, Yang Jin He also came along. With Yang Chen’s intelligence, after a brief reflection, he could guess that something important might have haDDened.
However, although Yang Chen no longer wanted to confront Yang Heng and Yang Wu, after all, the past and new grievances were still lingering. He didn’t think his relationship with Yang Yuan’s family could be that good, so when Yang Yuan hurriedly sought him out, he didn’t feel any need to be courteous to each other.
Yang Yuan apparently noticed the change in Yang Chen’s expression. Seeing that Yang Chen’s mood was so hostile towards him, his smile was full of bitterness, so he lowered his stance: “Yang Chen, it’s so good to find you.
Honestly, I feel ashamed when you call me uncle here.”
Seeing Yang Yuan, Yang Heng’s father, unexpectedly being so much stronger and humbler than Yang Heng and Yang Wu even though he had the status of an elder, Yang Chen couldn’t help but lose his anger.
Yang Chen was the type of person who would give respect when shown a little respect. Seeing Yang Yuan’s attitude, his expression softened considerably: “Uncle Yang Yuan, I wonder what’s the reason for you to seek me out so hastily?”
“This… it’s embarrassing to say.” Yang Yuan sighed, “This matter has to do with my good-for-nothing son. I believe you know a thing or two about Yang Wu’s affair with the young lady of the Yu family.”
Feeling curious, Yang Chen looked at Yang Jin He and asked, “Clan Leader, what’s the matter with Yang Wu and the young lady of the Yu family…”
Yang Jin He and Yang Yuan exchanged a glance, and then Yang Jin He waved his hand: “Today is the day Yang Wu and Miss Yu have set their marriage, Yang Yuan accompanied his son Yang Wu to the Yu family to pick up the bride. But unexpectedly, Miss Yu suddenly went back on her word. In front of the Yang family’s wedding party, she decided to call off the wedding!”
“Call off the wedding?” Yang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, not too surprised.
The first time he saw Miss Yu of the Yu family, he knew she was not a modest and obedient girl. It would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to control her. At least, Yang Wu was not capable of doing so.
As he expected, just after Yang Wu’s downfall in the recent Coming of Age Ceremony, Miss Yu of the Yu family decided to call off the wedding.
This was different from Yang Heng and Sun Qiaomei though.
Although Sun Qiaomei and Yang Heng’s marriage hadn’t been set, Yang Wu and Miss Yu were already engaged and couldn’t change their minds.With this thought, Yang Chen slowly said, “If the young lady of the Yu family changes her mind, she should at least give our Yang family an explanation.”
Yang Jin He shook his head, “In theory, that’s true. It’s actually understandable if the young lady of the Yu family changes her mind. After all, Yang Wu has lost an arm now, and it’s normal for the woman to have regrets. However, the key is that Yang Wu is too stubborn. He sees the young lady breaking off the engagement and feels humiliated. How could he accept it?”
“And then?” Yang Chen asked subconsciously.
Yang Wu’s father, Yang Yuan, said with a bitter smile, “The young lady from the Yu family has long been thinking of breaking off the engagement and even hooked up with the Wang family in advance, boosting her confidence. She got involved with Wang Yun Kai, the genius of the Wang family. She humiliated Yang Wu in front of the Yang family’s marriage party. Yang Wu couldn’t stand it and fought a battle with Wang Yun Kai. As you know, Yang Wu has lost an arm, how could he possibly be Wang Yun Kai’s opponent? Moreover, Wang Yun Kai’s martial arts cultivation is already superior to Yang Wu.”
Yang Chen laughed.
That young lady from the Yu family was indeed not a quiet woman, her speed was too fast. The Coming of Age Ceremony ended just a few days ago, and she had already connected with Wang Yun Kai? It seems that as a woman from a small clan, she could hook up with Yang Wu and other people as well. It must be said that this young lady of the Yu family has some skills in seducing men.
With the genius of the Wang family as a shield, the Yu family is still a small clan, but the young lady’s confidence has increased a lot. Humiliating Yang Wu is not impossible for her to do.
Thinking of this, Yang Chen could understand the purpose of Yang Yuan and the Yang family patriarch seeking him today. He directly said, “Patriarch, Uncle Yang Yuan, please tell me your purpose.”
Yang Yuan and the Yang family patriarch exchanged glances, then Yang Yuan said with an awkward expression, “Actually, this matter could be left alone.
However, Wang Yun Kai and the young lady of the Yu family humiliated Yang
Wu, and Yang Wu just lost an arm. This is already bad enough, but at least Yang Wu’s talent is still there. If he can’t swallow his anger and accept this blow today, he will truly become useless for the rest of his life.”
Originally, Yang Chen didn’t plan to interfere in Yang Wu’s affairs. After all, their relationship wasn’t close enough, but Yang Yuan’s love for his son really softened his heart.
“Uncle Yang Yuan wants me to take action?” Yang Chen asked.
Yang Yuan sighed, “Actually, the initiator of all this is the young lady of the Yu family. She has already climbed up the high branch of Wang Yun Kai. To dispel the arrogance of the young lady of the Yu family, we must start with Wang Yun Kai. However, Wang Yun Kai is a genius of the Wang family, which is a great clan. Moreover, our Yang family members are not the ones to bully Wang Yun Kai with our elders, so we must solve this problem among our peers, making it a perfect resolution and silencing others’ gossip.”
“Once Wang Yun Kai is defeated, the arrogance of the young lady of the Yu family will naturally be curbed. I believe Yang Wu’s Heart Demon will be much easier to deal with then.” Yang Jin He also added.
Yang Chen nodded thoughtfully, but he obviously had no intention of agreeing to this matter just yet.
In fact, Yang Yuan’s intention was clear enough – he wanted Yang Chen to take action against Wang Yun Kai.
However, whether he agrees or not is another matter.
Yang Yuan and Yang Jin He were both smart people. How could they not know that Yang Chen had no intention of agreeing?
This made Yang Yuan anxious, and he turned his pleading eyes to the Yang family patriarch.
Yang Jin He knew that Yang Chen still had grievances, so he had no choice but to say, “Yang Chen, today Yang Wu’s marriage proposal failed, and he was humiliated by the young lady of the Yu family and Wang Yun Kai. It’s not just the face of Yang Yuan’s branch that’s lost, but the entire Yang family. If we don’t settle this matter, the Yang family will forever be a laughingstock. If possible, please help your Uncle Yang Yuan. Wang Yun Kai has reached the Fifth Level of the Body Refining Realm in his martial arts cultivation. Among our Yang family, only you can compete with him.”
Finally, seeing that Yang Jin He came out to plead for him, Yang Chen relaxed and said, “What Patriarch said is correct. I, Yang Chen, care too much about the past grudges. However, it’s impossible for me to completely ignore what Yang Heng and Yang Wu have done to me. Of course, I will still take action, but I need a reward of one hundred spirit stones. There’s no way I’ll do it for free.” One hundred spirit stones?
Yang Yuan showed joy, as one hundred spirit stones didn’t matter to him at all. It was clear that Yang Chen was just trying to find a way out.
How could he not know Yang Chen’s thoughts? He quickly took out a storage bag filled with one hundred spirit stones and handed it to Yang Chen. “Give it to Ming Yue.” Yang Chen said decisively, “Now, let’s set off..”
